She said: “It has been a really tough two years, as an organisation we try to work with the most disadvantaged groups, however quality and financial sustainability in this sector does not often go hand in hand.
“But as a charity we have put people at the forefront of everything we do and quality is paramount above everything, so this rating really a proud moment’
Paul Growney, CEO of Caring Connections, said: “I am very proud of Rachael she has excelled in the role of care services manager and acts as an inspiration to other care workers on excellence within the care sector.”
Alongside this the charity delivers a range of charitable projects including the Barbara Bettle Project which supports people bereaved by suicide, the Johnpaul Project which supports veterans and the Our Life, Our Place project which supports older people to engage in local heritage projects. is
